It reminds me so much of the farmhouse where I spent most of my childhood. I loved that place -- and the big front patio room thing. What a beautiful place. And the house has such a friendly, whimsical, welcoming face.

It looks like it's smiling doesn't it? When we do the woodwork on the outside (fixing sills etc - hopefully NEXT summer) we'll be repainting the house - we're going to paint it a really cheerful yellow with white window frames and deep blue accent trim and red doors and window boxes. We want it to be like the house in the movie "UP" :-)
